A Student Loan Marketing Assn. ("Sallie Mae") will be created as a new federal government corporation to eliminate the liquidity squeeze which has so endangered these student loans during tight money periods. Sallie Mae will sell its own government-guaranteed securities and raise money in the open market.

I have used Sallie Mae in the past for some of my student loans and they actually have a lower interest rate than the two other companies I used during my grad school years. Sallie Mae was easy to deal with, made payments easy to make, and they were willing to loan me money to help cover my expenses when I studied abroad for a semester. If I decide to go for my PhD then I’ll most likely use Sallie Mae again.
